School Committee Continued from Page 1 in the Pioneer Valley STEM Network, part of a statewide initiative to engage students in STEM. She said they will be working with non-profits, museums, Boys & Girls Clubs, the Pioneer Valley Women in STEM, and schools throughout the valley from Greenfield Community College to Longmeadow. She said they will be working closely with the Westfield schools. The emphasis for the STEM network will be on the state- wide STEM week, Oct. 21 - 25. Hanselman said their first launch will be to engage teachers across the district in planning activities for STEM week. Figy said last year, several STEM week projects took place throughout the district, including inviting all 8th graders to Westfield Technical Academy for hands-on STEM projects in the shops. This year, Figy said they are looking to expand to K-12. So far, they are planning lessons on the lunar landing for fifth graders, kinetics in seventh grade, and dissecting brains in eighth grade, with curriculum provided by the initiative.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia Articles For Sale Hyper • Local platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot. It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” 8 news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore. But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home. clAssic If you would like to run a Pin BAll mAchine The Westfield News Group Birthday Announcement in excellent condition!
